Larry, feedback from exhaust/ECU mods you made!

Now that you have some more time behind the wheel, can you give us some feedback about the mods you´ve made in order to gain more power? Did you lost low end torque to gain high end torque, or does the car feels stronger thrue all rev band? The fact the car is louder may give the placedo feeling of being faster. I believe these DFI/PDK cars come from factory with best tune possible, and some how I´m skeptical to believe that it can be taken much more from this toys from ECU or exhaust, but I may be wrong.
The math is simple, for Porsche to get 23 hp more, they have to make some inside engine modifications , intake, exhaust and ECU, this alone, explain it´s not easy to get more from this great DFI stock engines.

I only have 700 miles on the car and only drove about 300 on the mods . In fact I have not even driven the paddles ... yet .

Let me wait until I get my car back because its not 100 percent definite that the Gt3 is going to happen . It takes two to make a sale and thus far I have signed nothing and made no definite commitments .

One thing I will say is this .. the stock exhaust is very weak sounding and any gain one can acheive is worth being recognized . Of course one can't expect the same types of gains with a normally aspirated car as whats been done with the Turbo so if huge power leaps are what a person is looking for then the Turbo does have a lot to offer .
